• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to add my voice to the voices that have spoken before. Talking about a scandal like the NYS one, as a nation and as leaders of this nation, we must stand firm and rebuke the kind of behaviour that we have witnessed. It is, indeed, sad for us, as a country, to see a situation where a couple of thugs come together, concoct a scandal and siphon billions of shillings out of public coffers. I remember vividly when we passed the Budget. I saw an allocation of Kshs28 billion as an ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: Initially, we were kept aware, but after some time, it became top secret. It means there was never any intention to implement the project. The idea, all along, was to steal that money. When the biometric audit was done on the cohorts who were employed, it was found that there were so many ghost workers in those lists. This was a scheme, from the word go, to steal from the people of Kenya. It was a scheme that was crafted in such an elaborate manner that the thieves were so sure that no action would be taken against them. Today, ... view

• 17 May 2017 in National Assembly: As we lambast those who were involved, this House must also take audit of itself. We have several Members of this august House whose relatives are involved. One Member had his father-in-law, wife and sister getting benefits from these fake projects. Many Members of Parliament are beneficiaries of this graft. So, as we talk of the Waigurus and the Kaburas out there, we must also audit ourselves. If any action is to be taken, let us be sincere. Let everybody be accountable, including those in this House who were involved. The other day, we heard that politics is not a ... view

• 11 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Bill on the establishment of the Nairobi International Financial Centre. I do this for a couple of reasons. One being that Kenya has come of age economically. We are looking at a country that is almost entering an economic take-off. Before you get to economic take-off, there are certain preconditions that must be met. Amongst these is a vibrant financial sector. As we all know, for an economy to grow, you must have a vibrant economic sector. Industry investment will depend on how effective the financial sector is. People will need ... view
